message 48: by Ayathma (new) - added it

Ayathma So how's the book to you?


message 49: by [deleted user] (new)

I actually wrote a review on it did you?


message 50: by [deleted user] (new)

I thought a lot before writing this review and I am glad I read this book.

Well, I wanted to give a 5 to this book, but there were a lot of scenes where I felt bored and tired after reading. I almost fell into a reading slump somewhere in between the book. Though the book was as good as a book and I think it truly deserves a 4, at least from me, because I am not a fan of Romance.

Pretty straightforward in my view, and even stretched up. Some scenes where it needed to be brief, were lengthy, and some scenes where it needed to be lengthy were brief. It caught my interest somewhere after Nick was introduced.

Nick's story or paragraph should have been completed. Catherine should have talked about it to him, because it felt incomplete and I thought the last few pages were devoted to it.

Levi and Cath's relationship was straightforward, just like the book. It seemed like Cath liked Levi, because of his looks and made ugly comments about his 'living-on-the-ranch' and his 'not-so-cool-bedroom'. It seemed like either of them coerced the other into doing it.

I had not expected much from this book, but it exceeded my expectations.

I have started reading Eleanor And Park too, a I would say pretty much the same about it.

I, somewhat, understood Cath, but I didn't develop a bond or was able to understand other characters. I wouldn't even know what they would do in a critical situation. Whom they would chose. That is what I focus on, if I want to know if I have developed a bond with the character.

I think it stretched a bit and it felt incomplete somehow. There were a lot of repeated scenes, sentences and emotions, throughout the story.

Wren was okay. It seemed like she was immature, yet more mature than any of them. She was confident, wrapped up, and like Cath would say 'a better version of her.'

I could not just understand what the book wanted to say or what the story was, but in a way it was satisfactory for me.

Well, that was pretty much my review on this book and I thought I could even go well with a 3 but I kinda could not convince myself to do so because from my side, I guess it deserved a 4.

P.S : It got me into fanfiction and I am going to start writing it. Thank you!
